6-25 CDD REPOSITORY FACT SHEET
PRODUCT NAME: CDD/Repository for VMS V5 AND CDD/Repository for ULTRIX
V5
OVERVIEW: CDD/Repository is the next major release of Digital's
active, distributed repository system that delivers the capabilities
for Digital's customers to organize, manage, control and integrate
tools and applications across the entire enterprise. It is an
expansion of the Version 4.0 CDD/Plus dictionary product in two key
directions: scope and function.
. The scope is expanding from storing information about data (records,
fields, elements and procedures), to storing information about objects
(anything involved in software development or information management
such as modules of code, databases, models, files or documentation) and
methods (operations that can be performed on one or more objects such
as create, edit, display). This is accomplished by adding an object-
oriented interface called ATIS (A Tools Integration Standard) to the
CDD/Repository and by developing a model of the objects that ship with
the CDD/Repository. Digital has proposed ATIS as an extension to ANSI
and ISO IRDS standards and ATIS has been accepted as a draft proposal
in the ANSI IRDS committee.
. In CDD/Repository, the existing function of storing information is
augmented with services that assist in creating a controlled and
disciplined software development environment. The ability to do
anything with, or to, objects in the repository (e.g., read, create new
versions, replace existing versions, move from testing to production)
are controlled on an individual level. This service allows software
development organizations to enforce project management control
policies and allows information management organizations to control
access in information access environments.
